Prison Industrial Complex

Folks are Tweeting this, as if it is all a bad thing. The building of another massive lock-up facility in Pennsylvania is ludicrous, and indeed, prison expansion is a perverted trend in “the world’s greatest prison state,” as quoted from Paul Craig Roberts. The same thing is occurring in Detroit, though this government detention facility may be torn down well before it approaches completion. A bizarre celebration of incarceration occurs in this video, Opportunity Detroit, with a voice over from Kid Rock. Wonderful spot, except at the 9-second mark, the question is asked: “What does opportunity look like?” The image that immediately appears is the new prison being built and cages going up. I always wondered if I am the only person who saw the paradox in this spot? It’s a spot about Detroit growth, opportunity, technology, creativity, and grit. The ad presents Detroit’s art, industry, entrepreneurial spirit, and its incarceration nation as “opportunities.”

“So, who thinks this foolishness makes sense?
“Pennsylvania’s School Reform Commission voted on June 1st to close 23 Philadelphia Public Schools, nearly 10 percent of the city’s total.

Additionally, due to a $304 million debt, students will return to school in the fall without many essentials; including books, papers, clubs, assistant principals, etc. Nearly 3,000 people will lose their jobs.

Meanwhile, the city has recently begun work on a $400 million prison project, said to be “the second-most expensive state project ever.”.

81 percent of students impacted by school closings are black, even though they make up only 58 percent of the population.” —– AND THEY ARE JUST DOING THIS MESS TO BLACK FOLKS – and you people don’t see this as an agenda? Only a fool would not see what is wrong with this and where it is going and how it will end up!
